It is estimated that there are some 10 quintillion insects

alive at any one time.

But forget about them. This is about ME - Lloyd!

I'm a fly!

Oof!

As you can see, thanks to my extensive repairs,

Floyd's head now stays on.

Mm.

Ow!

Agh!

Thank you, Abacus.

Hello, Lloyd. Playing with dolls?

Floyd is not a doll, OK? He's a highly sophisticated spider decoy.

Well, I left all that kid stuff behind

when I moved into my new apartment.

Wow, Berry! You've got your own place?!

Brilliant!

Well, can't get to my age

and still loaf about the family home playing with dolls.

I wish I was old enough to move out.

Isn't Berry younger than you, Lloyd?

Moving out is nothing special, PB. Anyone can do it.

Some of us just prefer not to boast about it.

You mean you're moving out too?

Really?

Well, I...didn't want to say anything straightaway.

You know how Mum and Dad depend on me.

No.

Lloyd, you're moving?

You didn't tell me. Where to?

Is it far? No, not far.

It's... in the big bin.

The big bin?

Whoa! Classy!

Ooh, let's go see your new place right now!

Great idea.

No, uh... Just... Just... Just wait. Uh...

Agh!

I want to see too!

Well, where is it?!

Don't tell me. It's the potato peelings.

No! No. No. It's, uh... over there.

Behind that huge overripe mango?!

Uh... Well, actually...

...it IS that huge overripe mango.

No way!

No way.

Yes way!

Well, you've seen it now. Let's go back.

Oh!

Wow. It really IS huge.

Where's the door? Uh...

Presumably you have one.

Uh...

Found it! Mm?

Very fancy!

No! Wait, PB!

Lloyd!

Mm!

Why, Lloyd? Why didn't you tell me you were moving?

I didn't tell you because it's not true.

Berry was just so annoying

I had to prove I'm as grown-up as him.

Oh, it's so big!

Echo! Echo. Echo. Echo.

Please, just help me convince Berry that I live here?

Then we can get out of the big bin and never come back.

I'm not good at lying, Lloyd. It makes my eyelids twitch.

How about I roll you up in a potato peeling and sneak you away to hide?

Let's go with lying. Come on.

Huh?

A door on every room?

And more to come.

So swish.

You don't seem to have any stuff.

No. I've, uh... chosen to live... Whee!

...a simple, frugal life,

free from the, you know, burden of furniture.

Whoo-hoo! You're living a simple, frugal life

inside an enormous luxury mango?

Yes, because... the bigger the house the emptier it can be,

and, therefore, the more furniture-less I am.

Lloyd, I need the toilet.

Is it go anywhere? Go outside?

Or do you have a bathroom?

Look at this place. Of course I've got a bathroom.

It's.... Um...

You don't know where your own bathroom is?!

Yes, Berry, I don't NEED to know where my bathroom is

because my butler deals with all that sort of stuff.

What butler?!

That butler. Right there.

Huh?

How can Abacus be your butler?

He didn't even know you'd moved!

Uh... But this isn't Abacus.

This is, uh... Ob... acus,

Abacus's... cousin. Weirdly.

You can tell them apart because Obacus has a much deeper voice.

Don't you, OB-acus?

Oh.

Yes.

And a... shuffle-y walk.

Yes.

Now, Obacus, would you please show PB to the bathroom?

Of course.

This way, ma'am.

Thank you!

See? Totally different.

Phew.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to living in a massive empty mango

with a shuffling butler and no furniture.

So, if there are no more questions about my very grown-up lifestyle...

Huh?

First part of your delivery. Where do you want it all?

Uh... Oh, my delivery?

Yes. Put it all over there, please.

What? In a big pile?

Yes. Perfect. Great. Big pile.

Eh.

I thought you were living a furniture-free lifestyle.

Yes. I am.

Obacus, why did you order all this furniture?

Why would you do that?

Um... Maybe I ordered it so you could smash it

to show how much you hate furniture?

Brilliant! Yes, that's it. It's smashing-furniture for smashing.

Smashing!

Uh... Later! And by me!

Thank you. Ohh!

Furniture-smashing is a very personal, spiritual thing.

Why do you have a portrait of an earwig?

Um...

That's my uncle.

It's complicated. He remarried. We were very close.

Which is why he gave me this house when he died. Yes!

Oh, poor, dead Uncle... Lloydwig... Ludwig!

Well, it's been lovely having you over, really,

but I do have quite a lot of furniture to smash...

...so, why not have a look

in what I'm going to call the kitchen? Um...

Help yourself to some mango.

I'll get it, sir.

Oh, thank you, Aba... Oba... Wait!

Abacus? Lloyd?!

Uh... Mum! Dad!

What are you doing here?

I'm bringing Mister Hopkins and mango-warming present.

I didn't think you knew him.

Is this the right place?

Mister Hopkins. The mango, the big bin.

This is the place. What are YOU doing here?

I'm... working.

You've got a job?! What as?!

Um... Well, I'm... I'm the butler here.

Yeah. You know, I've always wanted to... butle.

I thought I was the butler.

Well, yes. No. Yes, you're MY butler. I'm Mister Hopkins' butler.

Why would a butler have a butler?

And why is Abacus talking funny?

I'm not Abacus. I'm Obacus.

And Lloyd is working so hard

he deserves his own butler.

I feel like I need to talk to Mister Hopkins. Where is he?

Um... He's not available.

You should come back later. Much, much later.

Lloyd, I have a lot of questions.

I can't believe you've got a bidet!

It's a bit small, though.

PB?!

Ah!

Oh, Mum, Dad, can I have Lloyd's room now he's moved out?

Eh? Lloyd's moved out?

Uh...

Oh, that's wonderful!

A new job, a new home.

I'm proud of you, son. But...

We were beginning to think it would never happen.

Oh...

And so nice of Mister Hopkins to provide a butler for his butler.

Who's Mister Hopkins?

Well, he lives here. This is his mango.

No, it's Lloyd's...

Abac... Obacus, show PB the front garden. Right now, please!

Yes, sir.

Quicker than that!

I've already seen the front garden!

Mum, Dad, there's something I need to explain.

Huh?

Hm?

I think you need the toilet again.

I've already been. I don't need a wee.

Um... Mister Hopkins has a headache and he's having a lie-down.

And you should go and find him quietly!

Phew! Oh!

Uh... Mister Ludwig... I mean Hopkins, welcome home!

What's going on? Weren't you a wood louse?

Uh... No, just me - Lloyd.

Nobody else here. Nobody else at all.

Sorry, Lloyd, I tried to stop him.

I mean welcome home, sir.

Lloyd, this is a cupboard.

Lloyd, have you got anything to eat that's not mango?

Agh! The ghost of Uncle Ludwig haunts this mango!

Agh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh-oh-oh!

Lloyd, you have a bath too?

Since when do YOU wash?

That's it, girls. Throw it all in a big pile like the fly said.

My bath! My furniture! My mango!

Why are you in my house?!

What's going on?!

Mm, that's a good question.

Lloyd?

Lloyd has a headache and has gone for a lie-down... upstairs.

Goodbye.

Ow!

OK, basically, it was a big lie

because I was jealous of Berry moving out to his own place.

But, after all that, I think I've realised I don't want to leave home.

G-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-ghost!

Agh!

Berry? No, he's not moved out.

He's moved into Molly and Polly's basement is all.

His aunties' basement?

Ha! That's worse than staying at home!

So...

...can I move back in?

You didn't move out.

This is your home as long as you need it to be.

Especially now you come with a butler.

More snacks, sir?

Oh, yes, please. Don't mind if I do.

Thank you... Obacus.
